Abbazia dei Santi Felice e Mauro in Castel San Felice, open June–September.
Abbazia dei Santi Felice e Mauro is a restored 12th-century Benedictine monastery in Umbria that has been transformed into a luxury hotel while preserving its original stone architecture, vaulted ceilings, and sacred character.
The abbey underwent extensive restoration to convert its monastic cells into elegant suites and its refectory into an event space, maintaining centuries of spiritual heritage.
This working religious property offers couples a rare opportunity to marry within an active abbey while enjoying modern hospitality amenities.
Wonderful restaurant in an idyllic setting. The staff are friendly and the food is excellent. Hearty Umbrian cooking and a great wine list. We had two primi, two secondi, a contorno of veg and a bottle of wine for just over 100Euro. Walk around the magical Castel San Felice before dinner.
